Area Checker: Score Any UK Postcode on Crime, Schools, Flood & Prices
The HouseCheckup Area Score rates any UK postcode on a 0–100 scale, combining official-data checks — flood risk, ground stability, radon, coal mining, recorded crime and EPC — into one number, where higher means lower risk. Enter any postcode for the score and its per-check breakdown on screen; the £24.99 Complete report goes further, scoring the exact address across 15+ checks from official sources.
This check runs on screen, no signup. The full property report is £9.99 Lite / £24.99 Complete — one report, one price, no subscription.
Frequently asked questions
The HouseCheckup Area Score is a composite 0–100 rating that combines 6 weighted factors: flood risk (12–15%), EPC rating (8–12%), crime (8–12%), schools (7–12%), transport (7–8%), broadband (5–6%), ground stability (7%), air quality (4–6%), noise (4%), contamination (5%), planning (4–5%), heritage (3–5%), healthcare (4%), greenspace (3%), deprivation (5%), coal mining (3%), radon (3%), and coastal erosion (3%). Higher scores indicate lower risk and better fundamentals.
The Area Score is built only from official government data (Open Government Licence v3): the on-screen score combines flood, ground stability, radon, coal mining, recorded crime and EPC into a single 0–100 number. Like any postcode-level reading, it describes the area rather than an individual building — for the address-specific picture (EPC, sold history, flood and ground checks for the exact property), the £24.99 Complete report goes deeper.
The Area Score is a data-driven starting point for property research, not a substitute for professional advice. It uses only official government data sources (OGL v3). For buying decisions, always commission professional surveys and legal searches. Use HouseCheckup to shortlist properties before committing to expensive due diligence.
